Welcome to NSS Financials On-Line.
This website is designed to provide financial accounting information about project and grant activities associated with UNSW. NSS Financials captures accounting activity beginning with the 1999 financial year. If you require information prior to 1999, please use the FSD Home link to access account balance information from the original FINEST system. This is a restricted access area.You will need your NSS user ID and password to use the functions in this area.

Some new report generation features have been added to provide more detailed account balance information, and a translation function has been developed to assist you with the transition from the FINEST accounting structure to the NSS accounting structure. The following is a description of each inquiry option found on the left:

Account (Acct) Translate – Access this function to convert a FINEST account structure to the new NSS account structure, and vice versa.

Project Inquiry – Access this function to retrieve on-line account balance information for a particular project or grant. This function requires you to know your specific NSS project identifier. If you do not know this NSS identifier, use the account translate function mentioned previously.

Generate Reports – Access this function to generate an account balances report and/or a transaction detail report. This function requires you to know specific NSS accounting details associated with your project. If you do not know this NSS information, use the account translate function mentioned previously. In addition, the following information will also be required:

A Run Control ID is needed to initiate a report. When this request appears, simply click on the "Search" button, and then select the "WEB_REPORTS" option. Click on the "OK" button, and you will be on the report request panel. The Report Required can be selected by clicking on the down arrow button and selecting the appropriate report. Accounting details (ChartFields) may default from previous users of this panel. Simply replace this default information with the specific accounting details of your project or grant. Reports can be created for a specific Time Span. Please note that an NSS accounting period is the same as an accounting period in FINEST.

View Reports – Access this option to retrieve the report(s) you have generated using the Generate Report function. Report retrieval is a secured process, and requires you to re-enter your NSS user ID and password. All reports that you generate will be prefixed by your user ID, and then followed by the report identifier (i.e., GLNS010 for the Transaction Listing report and GLNS011 for the Account Balances report).
